psithurism

psithurism (SITH-yuh-riz-uhm) - (obs.) the sound of wind rustling the leaves.


Why someone would import this (in 1848 from Ancient Greek psithurisma, from psithurízein, to whisper) when we already had the clearly much better word susurration (from Latin susurrāre, to whisper) is beyond me. What's not beyond me is why it never really caught on, except in lists of obscure words.

mific: Sepia pic john sheppard and rodney mckay leaning heads together, serious (McShep - intense)
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Elizabeth Weir, Teyla Emmagan, Radek Zelenka
Rating: Mature
Length: 13,319
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: Rachael Sabotini on AO3
Themes: Arranged marriage, AU - royalty, Diplomatic marriage, Politics, Mutual pining

Summary: "It is your duty to the empire to marry Rodney McKay."

Reccer's Notes: This is an interesting romantic romp set in a somewhat steampunk AU where John is married off by his cousin the empress Elizabeth, to Rodney, a leader in the neighbouring nation. John is part of treaty agreements to negotiate peace. Consummating his marriage proves difficult due to Rodney being a workaholic, anxious about never having had sex with a man before, and, that common marriage of convenience trope, as John can end the marriage after a year and a day if he chooses. There are obstacles and pining and inadequate communication, but eventually John makes a place for himself in Rodney's labs, proves his loyalty, and we get the happy ending. A fun read!

anatine

Apr. 21st, 2026 07:26 am[personal profile] prettygoodword
prettygoodword: text: words are sexy (Default)
anatine (AN-uh-tain, AN-uh-tin) - adj., pertaining to or resembling a duck.


If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's anatine even if it isn't a duck. Anatine also, in a technical use, can mean pertaining to or belonging to the subfamily Anatinae, the dabbling ducks, or the family Anatidae, which includes Anatinae as well as geese and swans. Taken in the 1830s from Latin anatīnus, of ducks, from anas via its stem form anat-, a duck (which ultimately goes back to PIE root *h₂énh₂ts, a duck, because of course the PIE homeland had ducks, as they're worldwide).

Also, >quack!<

quack!

Our new challenge is our eighty-fifth:

AMNESTY



During amnesty challenges, you can post works for any of the challenges we've had to date: Complete list of prompts )

See the Community Report for a sortable list of prompts.
Both reports have a random "Any Challenge" button, and the Creator Report also has a random "Unfilled Challenge" button.


Of course, you're always welcome to post multiple works to any challenge if you finish them before the challenge closes, but that isn't always possible. So dust off those unfinished works and half-formed ideas -- now is the time!

In amnesty rounds, include the challenge you are posting for in the subject line of your post (eg, Blanket: Heated Rivalry: Fanart: If on a winter's night).

Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Friday, May 1st. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work for fandom. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.

All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.

You can view stats for [community profile] fan_flashworks entries and search and filter them via the Community Report and Creator Report. See our FAQ post for more details. Please let us know if you have any trouble accessing the reports.

Also, keep an eye out for the next [community profile] ffw_social post, which will go up in the next couple of days. If you haven't joined the comm yet, it's never too late to come and check it out. (Remember, posts are locked, which means you have to join to see them.)

satrap

Apr. 20th, 2026 07:31 am[personal profile] prettygoodword
prettygoodword: text: words are sexy (Default)
satrap (SAY-trap, SA-trap) - n., the governor of a Persian province; a subordinate ruler, esp. a despotic one.


Specifically in the Achaemenid and Parthian dynasties of Persia, as well as the intervening Hellenistic Seleucid empire -- the system of satrapies was set up by Cyrus the Great around 530 BCE and lasted till dismantled by the new Sassanid dynasty around 230 CE, though the title was intermittently used by various nearby polities even afterwards. A satrap had considerable autonomy over his satrapy, and was technically a viceroy and thus spoke with the voice of the emperor. We got the word in the 1300s in the Middle English form satrape, from Latin satrapēs, governor, from Ancient Greek satrápēs, from Old Persian khshathrapāvā/xšaçapavan, protector of the province/domain, from khshathra-, realm/province + pāvā, protector.
